CardiffGreens Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I know passing stats aren't the be all and end all (::flashbacks of the Lambert years:: , and also having seen the stats of the Dortmund/Stuttgart match), but still. Don't have a link to hand, but apparently both Southampton centre backs outpassed SU's entire team on their own at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 All of their losses are narrow. Mostly losing to one goal It's not like they are getting battered every week I agree it's bad but i would still be more concerned if i were a blades fan if they were losing 5-0 every week, they ain't.

They don't look like winning a single game. They score less than a goal every other game. They're turgid, fragile at the back, and woeful up front. Yes losing 5-0 every week would be worse, you're contesting a point nobody is making. They're not getting battered every week, but they're certainly not competing in the games every week either. This is their 16th PL game without a win. They're in very real danger of beating *that* record set by Derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particular as it's based on a tier system which seems to have been devised by throwing shit at a map whilst blindfolded, and quickly wiping off any which landed on London. I was just thinking that. There is a Sheffield player being loudly booed each time he gets ball. I assume he used to play for them or done something to one of their players. Anyway, it's a distinct advantage isn't it.

The_Steve Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Gammon Wilder, managerial fraud. Will they break records this season? That team has no fight, no goals, and a shambolic defence. Hopeless all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The ref blew the whistle a full minute early. Southampton had spent 2+ minutes just passing it around. Think he felt sorry for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 4-0 down after 58 minutes Ok well they've just lost 3-0 and they have 1 point from 12 games. Yes that is bad.

MaVilla Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Sheff utd...blimey.....even during our worst run last season (where we looked nailed on for relegation), we got 3 points from 11 games, they have got 1 from 12. tbh, im shocked they have imploded so badly, granted i didnt expect them to replicate last season, but i also didnt expect whats happening now with them. is 1 point form the first 12 games, the worst ever PL start to a season?, i would imagine it is?

rodders0223 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Feel bad for Brewster man. I thought Louie Barry was going to be under unfair pressure but £20m price tag after about 4 games and expected to do the business in the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Doubt it will help them but surely they need to do something, and the only thing they can do is sack the manager and hope for a miracle and some luck in the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is comfortably the worst ever start to a PL season. Even that Derby side got 6 from the first 12. The worst, as far as I can find, is Palace in 2017/18. They lost their first 6 games and only picked up 5 points in the first 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
